No configure options at all? The default (last I checked) did not allow
for support of aufs cache dirs.

to Squid. That's not so good. In a big way.

A symlink, or is the other disk mounted here. No matter, but you should
probably be using aufs, which you will have to compile support for.

So how much memory does this box have? You've dedicated about a GB of
RAM for Squid alone (512 cache_mem + (5GB of cache_dir * 0.1)).
